I had heard different things about Perry before his entry. Sure, there were the RINO snipings, but I realize there are single issue diehards and the hyper-critical among us. Given the choices prior to Perry's entry, I had hopes he'd do well.

He hasn't. You can't put his record up there at the podium. He has to be his best advocate and he's a trainwreck in that task. Should a national crisis emerge, we don't need someone like Perry locking up at a critical moment, telling his staff to "get what's-his-face on the thingamajig so he can whatchmacallit. Ooops."

Like it or not, that's what voters across the country saw....a bumbler who choked on an issue that's supposed to be important to him. It's difficult to just dismiss it and move on when he not only blew it last night; he's been doing it since summer.

His detractors on FR and the media aren't the reason for his poor performances.

As to the question, "why am I on this thread?"

At this point, I don't have any better answer than a fascination with the bizarre and perhaps morbid curiosity. Sort of the same way people slow down and look at accidents.
